"Hippin’ Hops is the state’s first Black-owned brewery (in addition to this EAV hangout, they have a second location in Kirkwood). A brewery and oyster bar isn’t a combination you hear too often, so we love Hippin’ Hops for giving us a place to slurp down great craft beer and awesome oysters. But they also have a few Cajun-flavored items and po’boys that come through when we’re craving a taste of the bayou and want to wash it down with some smooth brews. While you could try the shrimp or catfish po’boy, we suggest staying with the restaurant speciality and getting one with the tasty fried oysters. Loud music aside, Hippin’ Hops keeps the vibe chill and relaxed with soft lit neon lights and cornhole outside." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
